[PATCH] arm64: kvm: Avoid setting the upper 32 bits of VTCR_EL2 to 1

From: Will Deacon <hidden>
Date: 2018-12-13 16:05:52
Also in: kvmarm, stable
Subsystem: arm64 port (aarch64 architecture), kernel virtual machine for arm64 (kvm/arm64), the rest · Maintainers: Catalin Marinas, Will Deacon, Marc Zyngier, Oliver Upton, Linus Torvalds

Although bit 31 of VTCR_EL2 is RES1, we inadvertently end up setting all
of the upper 32 bits to 1 as well because we define VTCR_EL2_RES1 as
signed, which is sign-extended when assigning to kvm->arch.vtcr.

Lucky for us, the architecture currently treats these upper bits as RES0
so, whilst we've been naughty, we haven't set fire to anything yet.
